Gareth Westmorland on Hull KR signing Joel Tomkins

We’re fully aware of what’s gone on over the past week or so, but I’ve spoken to a lot of people who know Joel well and they all agree that the incident was out of character for him. He’ll get an opportunity to redeem himself with us and we’ll be working closely with him to ensure he takes it with his actions on and off the field.

England coach Wayne Bennett has selected his 19-man squad to take on New Zealand on Saturday June 23 and has included the uncapped trio of Hull FC’s Jake Connor and St Helens’ Luke Thompson and Tommy Makinson

Denver in the state of Colorado is the setting for the mid-season clash between England and the Kiwis, with Connor the only FC player set to take the trip.

Connor has been in great form for FC this year and was called up to the England Knights Performance Squad in March. He has impressed the England coaching staff enough to earn his place in the senior squad for the trip to the USA.

One in-form player who will not be in the England squad...

Reports suggest Josh Charnley is not in the England squad. This is hardly surprising considering he hasn’t been back in rugby league for long but he was in good form nonetheless.

Briscoe to re-sign with Leeds

Leeds Rhinos are on the verge of re-signing former Hull FC winger Tom Briscoe, according to League Express.

Briscoe is set to commit his long-term future to the Rhinos and the announcement is due to be made this week.

The 28-year-old has been a key player for Leeds since moving to West Yorkshire from FC ahead of the 2014 campaign.

Briscoe is one of several top names currently out of contract at Leeds, with Jamie Jones-Buchanan, Carl Ablett and Brett Delaney all unsure on their respective futures.

England to name three debutants

As already mentioned the England 19-man squad for the Test match with New Zealand will be announced at 12midday and there are expected to be three debutants included in Wayne Bennett’s team.

League Express has revealed that Tommy Makinson is one of three uncapped stars set to take the trip across to USA for the match in Denver on Saturday June 26. There is some speculation that one of the other two players is fellow St Helens star Danny Richardson.

Hull FC prop Scott Taylor is eager to continue his run of making the national team after playing one game at the Rugby League World Cup last autumn. Playmaker Jake Connor could also get the nod due to his versatility and injuries to half-back Luke Gale and centre Kallum Watkins. We’ll have all the breaking news around lunchtime.

Hull FC's turn and some honest comments from Jack Logan!

I got drafted in last week for the St Helens defeat and there were some ups but a fair few downs as well. I missed a couple of tackles I shouldn’t be missing but I went away and did some work on my game. I did a lot of video with Rads on the back of it talking about what I did wrong and how to rectify it.

Those were my aims for the Salford game. I feel like I did correct that in defence which is important. I got a lot of critics after Saints and ill comments. I’ll cop it and I don’t try and hide away from anything I’ve done wrong.

Welcome and first we'll start with local news!

Hull KR cannot continue “killing themselves” if they’re to make a successful, and albeit unlikely, charge towards the top-eight.

That’s the view of Joe Cator, who deputised at hooker during the error-ridden 26-4 defeat to St Helens.

Rovers were their own worst enemies as a plethora of handling mistakes gifted the Super League leaders a comfortable victory at the Totally Wicked Stadium.

The loss puts KR five points off eighth-placed Huddersfield Giants.

Knowing that without the mistakes their defensive efforts were relatively sound against Justin Holbrook’s men, who capitalised on the back of KR’s fumbles, Cator is calling for an improvement from every member of the side as Rovers lost as a collective unit.
